I have often felt, when I have been rambling in the Alps, that nature was too small to set forth God. The mirror is not large enough to reflect the face of the Eternal. You stand in the Alps and hear the avalanche like claps and peals of thunder resounding in the air. You gaze afar off and there it is,…

I heard of a good man who went down the Rhine, but took care to read a book all the way for fear he should have his mind taken off heavenly topics by the beauties of nature. I confess I do not understand such a spirit—I do not want to. If I go into an artist’s house I do that artist a displeasure if…

The European Space Agency’s Rosetta orbiter, which has been circling comet 67P?Churyumov-Gerasimenko for nearly two years, has identified glycine, an amino acid used by living organisms to make proteins. The orbiter also found the molecules hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide, as well as phosphorus—a…

Through the years there have been many ideas to explain why starts twinkle. Aristotle said twinkling was caused by wavering vision of people stretching the limits of their eyesight. Later, scientists thought stars rotated and displayed facets like diamonds as they turned. Today, the accepted explanation…

Scientists have recently increased the estimation of the size of our universe. From the previously estimated 200 billion galaxies researchers at The University of Nottingham, believe the figure is likely 10 times that. In their research, published in the October issue of The Astrophysical Journal, the…

Scientists have discovered what may a powerful source of protein in the future, cockroach milk. A researcher noticed the crystals in a cockroach’s gut are actually milk protein crystals and might be very nutritious. They discovered the crystals have proteins, fats, and sugars; and all of the essential…

The NASA owned Kepler space observatory has focused on one small patch of star-studded sky for the past six years. NASA claims it has identified 4,696 rocky planets of roughly similar size of the earth that orbit sun-like stars, and have surfaces suitable for sustaining water and life. NASA believes…

Over 100 years ago, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravity waves as part of his general theory of relativity. Now scientists working with the laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO say they have actually detected such waves for the first time. Scientists say the waves…

Intelligent design (ID) is the teaching that the world is created and obviously designed by a superior intelligence. Casey Luskin, a program officer with the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture talks about the progress ID is making in our culture. “At least five states now require, or…

Scientists have added four new elements to the periodic table, and now the researchers that discovered them will come up with names. Research on the elements had been going on since 2004, but research had been challenging because these elements decay quickly, with some remaining intact for only nanoseconds.…

A small study conducted by Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests that waking up several times during the night may be worse for your mood the next day than sleeping less than usual. Researchers found that the group whose sleep was interrupted had a 31 percent reduction in positive mood the following day, when…

Jesse Emspak, writing for Life Science, said: “Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has been proven right again — and this time, physicists have pinned down just how precise it is: Any deviations from his theory of general relativity are so small that they would change calculations by just…

A study published in the Journal Social Science and Medicine found that reading books may help people live longer. The researchers said their results indicate that adults who reported reading magazines and newspapers showed an increase in longevity by as much as two years over non-readers. Data from…

A California company is offering clients interested in space travel, the opportunity to rest in peace on the moon. For a fee of $12,000, Elysium Space will privately transport a person’s cremated remains to the moon. They are currently taking orders, and the first batch of ashes will travel to the moon…

Do you remember Pig Pen, the character from the Peanuts comic strip that walked around with a cloud of dust surrounding him? Well it turns out; we all have such a cloud surrounding us. “Every human body is surrounded by an invisible cloud of millions of microbes that is as unique as our fingerprints.”…

June 2015 was one second longer than usual because scientists added one leap second to keep the earth and atomic clocks in synch. Scientists say that leap seconds are not like a leap days, which come every four years. Leap seconds are not predictable because weather exerts a force on the Earth’s surface,…

Kynan Eng is president of a computer company that uses computers and brain research to help people live better lives. Eng wanted to use his expertise to respond to online questions about the intersection of neuroscience and human-computer interaction. When we went to Quora, he found himself distracted…

In study published in nature magazine suggests that individual preferences for waking up early in the morning or staying up late could be due to their genetic makeup. The study was commissioned by a company that analyzes individual’s DNA to examine their ancestry or inherited medical conditions. Along…
